Roughly four years, 145 million users and 300,000 third-party applications later, I wonder what it’s worth today, particularly given the fact that the Twitter website still draws a massive crowd according to the same Williams.

I have no idea who the domain name belonged to before Williams bought it, or what is was used for (update: see comments if you care about knowing that sort of thing).

It does sound a heck of a lot better than Twttr, which is the name creator Jack Dorsey gave the messaging service initially (though that logo is still grand).
